5 out of 5

Sarah Gesiakowski – October 5, 2016

I am really loving this program. Very easy to use. The disc has all the resources you could desire. The student is expected to do a lot of independent research. The book teaches about geography skills. The work and memorization put the skills to use. For instance my daughter was learning about different kinds of maps in the text book and for her activities has to fill out a political map and a physical map for Europe. While she is not formally learning about Europe in the textbook, she is researching aspects of Europe for her activities creating different maps and collecting facts. This will also be ideal with 3 more kids down the road. Any of the data that might change isn’t included in the actual text…populations, etc. This is the research she completes on her own from outside resources, namely the internet. This means the program will have a hard time going out of date. Oh and I wanted to mention the disc with the resources is set up superbly well, top-notch. I truly wish I could find other classes/subjects designed and organized like this.
